One of the most significant changes was the shift from using private screeners to using fed. screeners at all but 5 airports. These 5 U.S. airports are part of a pilot program, where private screeners perform screening functions. The mission of the Private Screening Pilot Program (PSPP) is to test the effective. of increased operational flexibility at the airport level that contractors may provide. This report describes: the challenges & limitations of the PSPP; the operational flexibilities that have been provided to the private screening co¿s.; & the performance of private & fed. screeners in detecting threat objects.
